Description

1938 Ted Williams Original Negative by George Burke. Ted
Williams shows he's ready for the big leagues by tearing up the
American Association to win a minor league Triple Crown with the
Minneapolis Millers.
He led the league with 43 home runs, 142 RBI's and a smoking .366
batting average. A rare and vintage photograph of Ted Williams
before his Red Sox legacy began.

One of the most famous sports photographers of all time, George
Burke understood the media and public's demand for photos of
athletes. He began shooting baseball players in the 1920's, and
would go on to leave a legacy of classic images, both portraits and
action shots, usually of individual players instead of groups. Many
Burke photos ended up as the central image on cards produced during
the same time. Just under 5x7" in size and on Eastman Kodak Safety
Film. NRMT condition and still suitable for making quality
prints.
